Declarations
:
: Informed consent was obtained from all participants. Due to low literacy levels and cultural appropriateness, oral consent was used. The study was conducted in accordance with the ethical norms and standards in force at the institution of the first author (ADR) at the time of research as there was no formal Institutional Review Board (IRB) in place. The study adhered to the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki regarding respect for participants’ autonomy, informed consent, and minimizing harm. At the end of the research period, ADR shared the information and findings with the local village institution and various individual respondents to ensure there was no misrepresentation.
